Dua is an ibadah1. Dua is a great ibadah2. Dua is the essence of ibadah3. Do not assume that dua is wasted if is unanswered rather Allah Almighty rewards on the mere act of asking for it is ibadah. He Almighty does not waste any dua; He grant the dua or give recompense in the hereafter. In doing dua we humble our self to Allah, forsake others and seek His grace; this is the essence of ibadah. The example of person who does not dua is like a person who has done hard labour, then was paid but refuses to benefit from that pay. Allah Almighty says, ‘Ask and I will answer’4. So do dua, it in essence is worship.
